Possibly the reason some of the CBS shows don't match up with
Wikipedia is because two of them were canceled later that month.
"The Big Payoff" had its last broadcast on Oct. 16; "Top Dollar" had
its last on Oct. 23. The new schedule, which was in place by mid-
November (I don't know how the 8-10 AM portion looked from Oct.
26 to Nov. 16), would have been (times are Mountain):

8 AM Red Rowe Show
8:30 On The Go
9 AM I Love Lucy
9:30 December Bride
10 AM Love Of Life
10:30 Search For Tomorrow
10:45 Guiding Light
11 AM CBS News
11:05 (Local)
11:30 As The World Turns
12 N For Better Or Worse
12:30 Art Linkletter's House Party

1:30 The Verdict Is Yours
2 PM Brighter Day
